The Sacramento Metro Chamber organizes a Study Mission annually to learn best practices, expand thinking, inspire new ideas, and provoke meaningful collaboration.

Join Sacramento regional leaders in Boston, MA, October 6-10, for the Sacramento Metro Chamber's 25th immersion program.

Delegates representing civic, business, and elected leadership will come together to expand their vision, strengthen regional relationships, and explore ideas that can shape a more vibrant Capital Region. Through dozens of conversations, guided tours, and unique experiences, participants will engage with a wide range of topics and perspectives.

Study Mission participants gain a high-level understanding of Boston’s innovations, outcomes, partnerships, challenges, lessons learned and identified leading economic, cultural, and civic drivers.

 

Top Themes We Look to Explore:

Innovative Government, Strategic Planning & Collaboration

Tourism, Sports & Cultural Identity

Downtown Vitality & Historic District Revitalization

Food Systems Innovation & Science-Based Economies

Community Safety, Civic Amenities & Quality of Life
